useful Improvements in Banding-Wheels, of r which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain novel improvements in banding machines for china or the like.

In carrying ont my invention, it is my acter which shall be of simple construction, and which shall embody a table, preferably of a rounded formation, which is movably mounted upon a suitable support, the de vice also contemplating the movement of an adjustable marking element, whereby figures may be inscribed upon and vertically supported upon the table.

With the above recited objects, and others of a Similar nature in View, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a machine constructed in accord-A ance with the present invention. Fig. 2 isa top plan view of the same. Fig'. 3 is a sectional view taken upon the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. -1 is a detail elevation of a marker adjusting mechanism and supports therefor, parts being shown in section.

Referring now to' the accompanying drawings in detail, the numeral 1 designates the standard of the machine. This standard preferably comprises a pipe sect-ion and has its upper extremity threaded as at 2 and is provided with slots 3 to allow the said end to be compressed when the. threads thereof are engaged by a .milled n'ut 4 as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The nut 4 also engages with a pipe extension 5, the said pipe member 5 projecting within the standard 1 and being sustained at a proper position through the medium of the nut 4. The pipe 5 is preferably provided with a plurality of graduation marks indicated by the numeral 31', the said marks adapted to serve .as a means whereby the said pipe may be ele- Vated a predetermined distance by the standard 1, and for a reason after be set forth.

The numeral 6 designates a T which is connected with the pipe 5. This T is adapted to receive a spindle 7, the said spindle enwhich will hereingaging within a depending sleeve 9 provided upon a table 10. The sleeve 9 is also preferably formed with a head 8, whereby gills szaid table may be rotated upon the spin- The table 10 is provided with a plurality of annular depressions l1 whereupon ditl'er' ent sized articles of china to .be banded are seated, the said depressions insuring the. central supporting of the plate and like china articles on the drum. The said table 10 is preferably of cylindrical formation and has its' outer periphery provided with a plurality of depressions 13, the said peripheral portion is spaced off and numbered, for instance, from one-halves to sixteenths, as designated by indicating marks 12, which are arranged with relation to the said depressions and representing equal divisions of the circumference of the drum whereby the distance of rotation of the table upon its spindle may be determined and may be further utilized for dividing the plate into desirable divisions or spaces. Connected with the offset portion of .T 6 is an L-shaped member 14, the extension of the vertical arm 15 of which is formed with a threaded opening, the same adapted to receive a threaded bolt 16. This bolt has its head 17 milled and its extremity pointed, as at 18, and the function of the said pointed extremity will be hereinafter described. The frame having been mechanically moved or rot-ated until the pointed eX- ltremity 1S ofthe bolt 16 is opposite one of the depressions 13, the said extremity is engaged with the depression 13, thereby temporarily locking the drum against further movement.

The upper extremity of the arm 5 has removably mounted thereon a cap 19the same being provided with a threaded opening adapted for the reception of a threaded element 20 which is adapted to bear upon the member 15 to contact the same. `By. this arrangement it will he noted that the cap may be rotated upon the arm 15 of the member-14 and sustained in a desired position upon the said arm 15. The cap member 19 has 'its upper portion formed with a coneshaped bore 21, the said bore being adapted to receive a cone-shaped off-set or shaft 22 provided upon a bearing 23.

The extremity of the cone-shaped shaft 22 is formed with a threaded opening, and adapted to engage with the saidthreads as` Well as to force the cone-shaped shaft 22' tight-l)T wit-hin the bore 2l, is a headed thread- Jed member 27. The bearing 23 preferably comprises an angular member and is; formed v with a bore 24. The member- 28 is further4 provided with a threaded opening which registers with the said bore 24 and received v Within the said opening is a threaded headed.

element 26. This member 26 is adapted to bear upon a graduated bar 25, 'the saidbar being provided' at one of its ends with a The sleeve 28 is formed with a suitable threaded opening which communi- Cates with its bore 29, the said opening adapted to receive a threaded headed ele-- ment 3l, and this element is adapted to bear against a marking member 3()V to sustain the said member within `the sleeve. l

By reference to the dot-ted lines in Fig. I

of the drawings, it. will be noted that the4 rod 25 is not only longitudinally adjustable within the bearing 23 but that the said rod may be swung upon the shaft 22 of the said bearing. It will be further apparent that the said rod 25 maybe rotated Withinitsbean ing. to bring the marking element 30to a #desired angle with relation to the saidbar and with relation to the chinaware which is to receive impressions from the said marking element. y h

F rom the above description, taken in 'connectionwith the drawings,.it is thoughtthat the operat-ion of the device, as well as the detail structural features thereof will be perfectly apparent to those skilled in the art to which such inventions appertain, without .further detailed description, and

Having thus described the invention what I claim is A l l. In a device for the purpose Set forth, a standard, a graduated vertically adjust able" member carried by the standard, a ro- "1 afable table Saprfted by the adjustable 'jople's of this patent may be obtained for vided with a plurality of spaced perforations,`an L-shaped member connected with the vertically adjustable member, means provided upon the vertical arm of the said `Lshaped member for contacting the yperiphery of the table to prevent the rotation thereof, a rotatable cap lmember removably connected with the vertical arm ot the L- shaped member, a shaft carried by the cap, means for retaining the said shaft against rotation upon the cap member, saidshaft' ,having an enlarged extremity providedwith means for preventing the movement of the member,- the table having itsv periphery pro- .'a bore,V a graduated bar within the bore,
